TWIINGS33

A double portion of Davis dexterity is promised in Warner Bros.’ new screen drama, “A Stolen Life,'' coming
to the Strand on Friday. The film stars Bette in her first cinematic dual role—as identical twins who fall in

love with the same man. Glenn Ford plays the object of the girls’ affection,
and Charlie Ruggles are seen in other important roles.

Lucky Star Claims
Good Luck Can Go
A Little Too Far

More than three years have
passed since Dane Clark, War-
ner actor currently appearing
in that studio’s “A Stolen Life,”
the Bette Davis starring film
now at the Strand, drove a bat-
tered old jalopy from the east
coast to Hollywood in search of
fame, fortune and the pursuit
of stardom.

Today he has achieved all
three. Perhaps he’s a little light
in the fortune department, but
he has reached stardom, and
quite a few people know his
name and face.

Somehow Clark links up his
good luck with that bailing wire
jalopy of his. He calls it his
good luck car and he’s hung
onto it in spite of being finan-
cially able to own fancier jobs.

But recently the actor suf-
fered a change of heart and is
no longer sure of its being a
good-luck piece. On the way to
work at Warner Bros. where he
was working in “A Stolen Life,”
Dane’s antiquated auto lost a
wheel in full flight. The wheel
sped across a lawn, barely miss-
ing two old ladies, and hurtled
into a residence, smashing
things enroute.

The car, with only three
wheels down, skittered and
swayed, finally coming up hard
against a palm, where it sighed
and stopped.

Now the actor is in a quan-
dary. Has his good-luck car
outlived its luck? Should he
junk it for something sturdier?
Or should he patch it up and
give it another chance?

Bette Davis Doubly Good
In Dual Role At Strand

(Prepared Review)

Bette Davis fans get a double
portion of their favorite actress
in Warner Bros.’ new romantic
drama, “A Stolen Life,’ which
opened at the Strand Theatre
last night. Miss Davis is cast
in a role which gives her every
opportunity to display her in-
comparable talents, _ literally
running the gamut of emotions
in her dual portrayal of twin
sisters, Kate and Pat Bosworth,
identical only in their physical
attributes, whose lot it is to fall
in love with the same man.

Tackles Difficult Task

A less experienced actress
would undoubtedly find the
characterizations of the two ex-
tremely unlike twins too exact-
ing and difficult a task. Not so
Miss Davis! With truly artistic
effortlessness, the star makes
Kate a believably lovable, self-
less and sympathetic character
and at the same time has every-
one loathing Pat. Kate, who
dabbles in art, meets Bill (Glenn
Ford) quite inadvertently on a
visit to her cousin Freddie’s
(Charlie Ruggles), at a remote
island off the Massachusetts
coast. Their mutual interests,
common ambitions and_ well
suited natures destine them to
fall in love. But Pat, quick to
recognize in Bill another ex-
tremely desirable admirer, soon
employs all of her feminine
wiles to woo him away from
guileless Kate. From then on
it’s each to his own device with
Bette Davis winning any way
you look at it, the one love cul-
minating in tragedy, the other

in happiness.

Glenn Ford, recently dis-
charged from the Marines, does
admirably as the handsome,
much sought after engineer.
Dane Clark, as the artist Kar-
nok, under whose strict, if not
tyrannical, surveillance Kate
works in an attempt to forget
Bill, comports himself in ex-
perienced Thespian style and
earns, beyond doubt, the right
to be known as Hollywood’s
white hope of 1946. Adding his
usual realistic touch to a pic-
ture, Walter Brennan acquits
himself with consummate artis-
try as Eben Folger, a cantank-
erous New England lighthouse
keeper. Another excellent per-
formance is_ contributed by
Bruce Bennett, who will be re-
membered for his other splen-
did characterization as Joan
Crawford’s husband in ‘“Mil-
dred Pierce.” As Jack Talbot,
playboy admirer of Pat in “A
Stolen Life,’ Bennett ably
handles a role on which the pic-
ture’s exciting climax hinges.

Authentic New England

The production is distin-
guished by careful and authentic
shots of picturesque New Eng-
land. Curtis Bernhardt, the
film’s director, has woven the
plot most expertly into a tautly
absorbing screen drama which
Max Steiner’s original score
does much to complement. The
script, ably executed, was writ-
ten by Catherine Turney from
an adaptation by Margaret
Buell Wilder of a novel by
Karel J. Benes.

‘A Stolen Life’
Employs 6 Bettes,
1 ‘Split Screen’

Bette Davis’ current starring
picture, Warner Bros” “A
Stolen Life,” now at the Strand,
is the most pretentious of her
many films.

During the film’s production
there were as many as six Bet-
tes on the set at the same time.

Because the star plays dual
roles, twin sisters named Kate
and Pat Bosworth, a “split
sereen” had to be employed by
the cameraman, Sol Polito,
A.S.C.

Plays To Stand-In

When Bette was Kate, she
“played to” her twin sister Pat,
portrayed by Sally Sage, who
for ten years was her stand-in.

When Bette portrayed Pat,
she had to emote to the other
twin, Kate, played by Elizabeth
Wright.

Both Sally Sage and Eliza-
beth Wright had their own
stand-ins, so at this point the
count was up to five Bettes.
Bette’s own stand-in brought the
total up to six.

“A Stolen Life” is the first
picture made by handsome
Glenn Ford, who plays the male
lead in the film, since his two
and a half year hitch in the Ma-
rine Corps. It is also Bette
Davis’ first producing effort.
On the screen it is designated
as a “B.D. Inc.” production.
From this date on she will pro-
duce one picture for herself a
year and two under the aegis
of Warner Bros. Warners will
release them all.

Strand Will Show
New Warner Drama
Beginning Friday

(Advance Theatre Story)

Warner Bros.’ new romantic
drama, “A Stolen Life,” coming
to the Strand Theatre on Fri-
day, is exactly the kind of screen
vehicle for which Bette Davis
fans have been clamoring. For,
more so than any of her earlier
films, this unusual story affords
Hollywood’s most capable actress
the opportunity to display her
histrionic talents to an unparal-
leled degree. It’s a _ veritable
field day for the star as she
deftly portrays twin sisters as
unalike as twins can possibly be.

With New England, Miss
Davis’ own stomping ground,
for the principal locale, the pic-
ture relates the engrossing story
of two sisters and their love for
the same man. The one twin,
Kate, is a completely lovable,
selfless, understanding and sym-
pathetic character; whereas the
other, Pat, is of an extremely
selfish, ambitious, unscrupulous
ilk. Their mutual love for Bill
Emerson (Glenn Ford), a hand-
some engineer who works for the
government as a lighthouse in-
spector, culminates in happiness
for one and tragedy for the
other.

Topnotch Supporting Cast

An excellent supporting cast
under the direction of Curtis
Bernhardt handles the other im-
portant roles. Dane Clark, whose
last picture was “Her Kind Of
Man,” plays Karnok, a talented
artist who needles Kate into her
first decisive action. Walter
Brennan portrays Eben Folger,
laconic New England lighthouse
keeper who can best appreciate
Bill’s ambitions. Others fea-
tured in the film are Charles
Ruggles as Freddie Linley, the
twin’s humorous cousin and
Kate’s devoted confidant, and
Bruce Bennett as Jack Talbot,
on whom the exciting climax of
the picture hinges.

The screenplay for “A Stolen
Life” was written by Catherine
Turney and adapted by Mar-
garet Buell Wilder from a novel
by Karel J. Benes. The film’s
original score was composed by
Max Steiner.

A Star Story With A Human Interest
Angle That’s Equally Good For
Women’s Pages Or Weekend Supplements

Star Of ‘A Stolen Life’
Led Hectic War Existence

So much has happened during the past few years in
the life and career of Bette Davis, now starring in
Warners’ “A Stolen Life” at the Strand, that the general
public has had difficulty keeping up with her.

Miss Davis was probably the busiest young woman in
the entire motion picture colony during all the war years.
With John Garfield she organized and then headed the
famed Hollywood Canteen which entertained more than
3,500,000 servicemen and women during the war. When
its doors were finally closed late in 1945, a reserve fund
of $500,000 was turned over to appropriate authorities

for use in aiding veterans.

The star’s wartime activity
is mentioned first because it is
the one that she herself con-
siders of prime importance.

The star’s multiple activities
during the strenuous years that
followed Pearl Harbor did not
deter her, however, from the
continuation of her career on
the screen.

Always daring in her ac-
ceptance or selection of roles in
pictures, Bette appeared in “The
Corn Is Green,” which had pre-
viously been made memorable
by Ethel Barrymore in the New
York theatre and on tour. A
more timid player, even one in
Bette’s enviable position in the
film industry, would have hesi-
tated, if not refused, to follow
Miss Barrymore in such an ex-
acting and unglamorous role.
She played it, however, without
mental or emotional reserve,
and its success was ample evi-
dence that filmgoers everywhere
approved the choice.

Prior to that Miss Davis had
eagerly accepted another very
difficult part, one which was not
the title role but certainly the
most important of the produc-
tion. With “Mr. Skeffington,”
Miss Davis won new acclaim for
her ability with an unsympa-
thetic characterization, of which
she has played a great number,
beginning, some years ago, with
the role of the hateful Mildred
in “Of Human Bondage.”

She played herself in “Holly-
wood Canteen” and by doing so
added materially to the amount
of money received by the Can-
teen from Warner Bros. for the
use of the name and the idea.

Other screen work during the
war years included “The Man
Who Came To Dinner,” re-
leased about the time war was
declared, in which she also gar-
nered great critical and public
applause. In 1942 “In This
Our Life,” was released and
gave her another chance to
show how competently she plays
unpleasant characters on the
screen. ‘Now, Voyager,” re-
leased during the second war
year, was one of the star’s most
successful ventures and pushed
her romantic partner, Paul Hen-

BETTE DAVIS fans will be glad to
hear that they get a double helping
of their favorite star in Warners’ "A
Stolen Life,"" opening at the Strand
on Friday. Bette plays a dual role

reid, to immediate stardom. The
year 1942 also saw Bette in
“Watch On The Rhine,” the pic-
ture which won the Academy
Award for Paul Lukas.

“Old Acquantance” followed
in 1943, after which the actress
appeared as a comedienne song-
plugger in “Thank Your Lucky
Stars.”

During the same years Miss
Davis’ personal life was under-
going great and unexpected
changes. On August 25, 1943,
her husband, Arthur Farns-
worth, died unexpectedly in
Hollywood. Not long afterward
her mother, long associated with
Bette in her career and often
sharing the star’s home with
her, married. Then, on Novem-
ber 30, 1945, Bette married Wil-
liam Grant Sherry whom she
had met a year before at her
summer home in Laguna Beach,
Califcrnia.

Rivalry Between
Twins Dealt With
In Strand Drama

(Current Theatre Story)

A twin’s love for the same
man her sister is in love with
constitutes the central problem
in Bette Davis’ latest starring
vehicle, Warners’ “A _ Stolen
Life,” currently playing at the
Strand Theatre. Miss Davis,
plays both twins whose love
for the character portrayed by
Glenn Ford ends in tragedy for
one and happiness for the other,
and the actress has an excellent
opportunity to display her un-
limited abilities.

Contains Unusual Conflict

An unusual story, rife with
conflict and rivalry, the film is
based on a novel by Karel J.
Benes adapted by Margaret
Buell Wilder and made into a
screenplay by Catherine Tur-
ney. It presents an acting chal-
lenge well met, for the one
twin, Kate, is extremely lovable
and selfless; whereas Pat is
thoroughly hateful and _ con-
temptible. Kate loves Bill for
his simplicity and modest am-
bitions while to Pat he is merely
another engaging admirer.

Others in a generally excel-
lent supporting cast include
Dane Clark, winner of the award
for this year’s most promising
young actor, as Karnok, an
artist under whose strict tute-
lage Kate works in an effort to
forget Bill; Walter Brennan as
a cantankerous New England
lighthouse- keeper and_ Bill’s
best and most understanding
friend; Charlie Ruggles as
cousin Freddie, the twin’s hu-
morous benefactor; and Bruce
Bennett, remembered for his
excellent characterization of
Joan Crawford’s husband in
“Mildred Pierce,” in a dramatic
role on which the picture’s ex-
citing climax hinges.

With New England as the
principal locale, the film’s pro-
duction is distinguished by au-
thentic sets and realistic pho-
tography. The picture was
directed by Curtis Bernhardt.
Max Steiner wrote the picture’s
original musical score.

Civilian Dangers
Engulf Ex-Marine
In Warlike Flood

Glenn Ford, currently fea-
tured in the Bette Davis star-
ring film, “A Stolen Life,” War-
ners’ new drama at the Strand,
knows that bobby-soxers play
rough.

Ford, handsome Hollywood
star who recently completed a
two and a half year hitch in
the Marine Corps, thinks the
teen-agers are tougher than top
kicks—and he has wounds to
prove his point.

The actor was recently asked
to present a large bouquet of
roses to Eva Wonderlick, win-
ner of a “Queen” contest staged
by the Air Transport Command.

This he did, before a large
crowd of boys and girls at the
Royal Palm Hotel in Los Ange-
les.

After kiss-
ing Miss Won-
derlick and
presenting the
bouquet, Ford
started for
home. The
girls in the
crowd de-
scended on him
in a body.

The actor
took refuge in

an elevator,
MarNasde and finally re-
treated to a
room on the second floor which
manager Floyd Wilson had se-
cured for him.

But when the girls started
breaking down the door, he took
to the fire-escape ladder, pulled
a latch and was summarily de-
posited on the ground after fall-
ing a couple of stories.

“War,” says Glenn, “was con-
siderably more gentle than those
screaming kids.”

Walter Brennan

Waves Too Real
On Warner Set

Bette Davis and Glenn
Ford, as well as most of
the crew of Warner Bros.’
"KR Stolen Life,” now at
the Strand Theatre, were
all made sea-sick by the
small-boat sequences shot
in the huge studio tank
stage. Wind machines,
wave makers and a rov-
ing camera mounted on a
gyroscope and dolly com-
pleted the illusion that
proved altogether too real.

Film Role Tempts
Star To Try Hand
At New Art Form

Bette Davis, starring in “A
Stolen Life,” the new Warner
Bros. picture now at the Strand
Theatre, is supposed to paint a
portrait of Walter Brennan, a
grizzled old lighthouse keeper
on a lonely, wind-swept island.
The painting was originally
completed by Alexander Rosen-
feld, since Bette herself is not
as proficient with palette and
brush as with the spoken word
and registered emotions.

However, during the hours

Miss Davis spent pretending to-

paint the picture, she did touch
it up in places. At the sugges-
tion of Laguna friends, she may
add “plus B. Davis” below the
artist’s signature and permit the
picture to be sold or auctioned
off for the benefit of some de-
serving Laguna society.

Unique in cinematic history is the opportunity Glenn Ford has to make love to
not one—but two—Bette Davises in Warner Bros.’ "A Stolen Life," now
playing at the Strand Theatre. The double measure of romance is due to
the fact that the actress plays a dual role—that of twin sisters—in the
film, which also features Dane Clark, Walter Brennan and Charlie Ruggles

in supporting roles.

An Interesting

Sidelight On A

Seldom Publicized Facet Of Film

Production—For Weekend Supplements

‘Old’ Pants Represent
Days Of Patient Ageing

The hole in the seat of Glenn Ford’s pants, worn by
the actor in Warners’ new Bette Davis starring picture,
“A Stolen Life,” now at the Strand, was no accident.

The hole was put there deliberately, if not maliciously,
by the Warner Bros. wardrobe department which had
been told to prepare clothes for the young star to match
the characterization he was to undertake in the picture—
and the New England locale in which it was to be played.

So the trousers with which
Glenn Ford was provided in the
lighthouse island sequences of
the story of “A Stolen Life,”
were held against a revolving
buffer until the fabric was worn
thin. Then they were placed
over a sharp table corner and
deliberately torn. After a few
days of scrambling over the vol-
canic rocks of the sea-going lo-
cation of the picture, near La-
guna, the hole was spread and
threatened to become too obvi-
ous and revealing. The ward-
robe department came forward
with a duplicate pair, however;
a pair of trousers with exactly
the same kind of a hole in ex-
actly the same place as in Ford’s
first costume trousers.

Handled By Studio Expert

The odd business of making
new clothes old and old clothes
older is handled at Warner Bros.
studio by Fred Waring (not the
orchestra leader) who is an
expert in his particular line.

Every garment in a studio
wardrobe is carefully cleaned
as soon as a player in a picture
is finished with it—and often
several times in between. This
natural wear and tear gives
Warner Bros., for instance, a
gradually growing supply of
worn clothing but there are
times, such as the opening se-
quences of “A Stolen Life,”
when this natural aging process
is too slow for motion pictures.

Are Washed For Days

Suits and dresses are some-
times dumped into washing ma-
chines and washed for days at
a time to give them a needed
threadbare appearance. They
are sometimes faded with strong
soaps and rinses. Shoes, before
rationing, were also aged when
needed, by files and sandpaper.
Now, because of their scarcity,
there is less of that. Felt hats,
to be aged, are held against a
buffer to provide worn spots.

When wrinkled clothes are
needed, the garments are rolled

into bundles, dampened, put un-
der a press and left under pres-
sure overnight. That wrinkles
them, all right. Dirty clothes
are only so in appearance in
motion pictures. In reality they
are clean clothes spotted with
paint, dusted with Fuller’s earth
or rubbed with lamp black.

There are hundreds of worn
garments in the Warner Bros.
wardrobe, all catalogued and
ready for future service in
scenes that demand such clothes.
Even Glenn Ford’s hole-ridden
pants were cleaned and put back
in stock, after the film’s com-
pletion, to await another actor
in another role which calls for
a hole in trousers.

Seeing Double Is
OK But Star Balks
At Double Doubles

Playing identical twins in a
film all day is difficult enough,
according to Bette Davis, who
should know, but to have the
condition continue into evening
hours as well is almost too much.

Miss Davis, currently portray-
ing twin sisters in Warner
Bros.’ “A Stolen Life,” at the
Strand, “played” to two other
actresses portraying her other
screen self who were later
eliminated from the finished
film by virtue of a “split-screen,”
for eight hours every day dur-
ing the picture’s filming.

Thus she grew used to seeing
“herself” in the persons of
Elizabeth Wright and Sally Sage
on the set all day. She was ac-
customed, in other words, to see-
ing double.

But one eve-
ning, while
dining at the
Crillon restau-
rant, her sen-
ses almost left
her when she
saw two of
herself enter-
ing the swank
nigyht spot.
The Crillon
employs full-
length, right-
angle mirrors Mat No: ie
at its entrance Bette Davis
hall as well as inside the restau-
rant proper.

This was enough to give Bette
a start. What topped her con-
fusion however, was that, on
leaving, she was preceded by
two identical twins. It was this
last that almost had Bette in the

Twice Usual Size

Because her role re-
quires her to play identi-
cal twin sisters, Bette Davis
has a larger wardrobe in
“K Stolen Life,” now at the
Strand Theatre, than in
any other picture of her
career. Orry-Kelly de-
signed the star’s clothes
which are all ultra mod-
ern. “A Stolen Life” is
Bette’s first film as a pro-
ducer. Glenn Ford, Walter
Brennan, Dane Clark and
Charlie Ruggles are fea-
tured in the cast. Curtis
Bernhardt directed the
film.

Anxious To Put On
Weight? Here’s An
Easy Way To Do It

However it affects some
people, the Marine Corps put
twenty pounds on Glenn Ford.

The actor served two years,
eight months with the leather-
necks and, upon receiving an
honorable discharge, checked in-
to Warner Bros. for the biggest
role of his career as Bette Davis’
leading man in “A Stolen Life,”
currently at the Strand.

The ex-Marine had counted on
using his own clothes as ward-
robe for the picture but a quick
glance at his suits and his waist-
line junked the whole idea.

So Ford shopped for new
clothes and a number of stock
boys at Warner Bros. are wear-
ing his pre-Marine Corps suits,
courtesy of the actor.

Portraying Self,
Bette Davis Takes
Acting In Stride

Bette Davis, now starring in
Warner Bros.’ “A Stolen Life”
at the Strand, took over Las
Rosas, one of California’s most
historic eating places near the
old mission at San Juan Capis-
trano, as the scene for a birth-
day party honoring her sister
Barbara.

The invitations requested the
guests to appear in Spanish
costumes.

As the star awaited the ar-
rival of her guests, an uninvited
couple arrived and she, in her
colorful Spanish costume, di-
rected them to one of the unre-
served dining rooms.

As the young lady passed
Bette, she remarked to her es-
cort, “Doesn’t that waitress look
like Bette Davis?”

To which Bette Davis herself
replied in amusement, “Yes,
everybody always tells me that.”

An hour later, when the news
of her presence had traveled
throughout the place, the young
couple returned requesting her
autograph.

DANE CLARK plays an important
featured role in support of Bette
Davis in Warners’ "A Stolen Life,"
coming to the Strand on Friday. A
stirring and unusual drama of rivalry
between twin sisters, the film also
features Glenn Ford, Walter Bren-
nan and Charlie Ruggles.

Star Contemplates
Purchase Of Home

Her friends at Warner
Bros. are willing to bet
that Bette Davis, now star-
ring in Warner Bros.’ “A
Stolen Life,” at the Strand,
will soon own a house on
the Monterey Peninsula.
The star is already mis-
tress of Riverbottom, her
Glendale home near the
Warner studio; a beach
house at Laguna; and her
New England farm, Sugar
Hill, New Hampshire. She
often tells friends, how-
ever, that the Monterey-
Carmel area in California
is her favorite spot on the
west coast.

It took a week to drown Bette
Davis at the Warner Bros.
studios for her newest picture,
“A Stolen Life,’ now at the
Strand. It took a full week and
the hard work of ninety or more
persons, any one of whom could
have rescued her without too
much exertion.

When the sequence was finally
finished a waggish sound man
on the set—the same one who
had caught her final gurgle in
his microphone—wise - cracked,
“Bette never looked wetter—not
better—wetter.”

Nature had a hand in the
drowning of Hollywood’s first
lady during a real blow along
the California coast. But for
the closeup scenes of her final
struggle the star was brought
to the studio where a huge tank
of water and all the necessary
wave and wind equipment had
been installed.

Nature in the rough and a
closeup photograph just don’t
go over well together.

The Warner storm kings can
stir up a very realistic no’wes-
ter at that. Enough wind ma-
chines surrounded the Davis set
to blow the top off the Los
Angeles city hall. Huge casks
of water on the top of steep
chutes aided her apparent de-
mise.

It is not on record that Bette
ever drowned in a picture be-
fore. She has died, gone blind,
mad and dispirited but she has
never suffered a watery death
before. In the light of the fact
that she reported when she first
came to Hollywood that she had
once won a life-saving swim-
ming record on the Atlantic
coast, it, apparently, had never
before occurred to her produc-
ers to drown her. Here, at long
last, was the opportunity.

As the less admirable of two
sisters, it was up to Bette to
drown _ realistically, without
ever indicating, by word or ges-
ture, that she could easily save
herself by putting into practice
a few of her well practiced
swimming strokes.

This is not as easy as it may
sound. Even pretending to

drown, while tons of water are
cascaded on you, is not fun and
the natural thing to do is to
swim away from such danger.

Bette, however, knew from
the script that she was supposed
to drown in the scene and had
known it for all the long months
“A Stolen Life’ had been in
production. She was well pre-
pared for it. Under the careful
direction of Curtis Bernhardt
she struggled against the water,
neither wisely nor well, and con-
sequently met her cinematic end
in a blaze of technical glory.

“An actress to the last,”
sighed director Bernhardt as
he ordered the scene printed and
the lights and cameras taken
away.

New Father Finds
Pride Goes Before
Fall In Filmland

There’s one thing sure about
becoming a new father in Hol-
lywood: fun-loving studio work-
ers won’t let you forget it.

Curtis Bernhardt, the direc-
tor, knows that.

Bernhardt, who directed Bette
Davis in Warners’ “A Stolen
Life,” now at the Strand, re-
cently became the father of a
baby boy named Anthony. Be-
cause Tony was not yet born
by the time work on the film be-
gan, Bernhardt reported at
Warners as usual. But when
Bette Davis, who produced the
picture, realized his shaken
condition, she promptly and
good-naturedly ordered him
from the set, telling him to re-
port to his wife at the hospital.

The baby was born at 10
o’clock in the morning, and
Bernhardt returned, laden with
cigars to divide among the crew.

Awaiting him was a life-sized
doll and a prop man standing
ready with diapers and a stop
watch. While the entire crew
and company watched, Bern-
hardt was schooled in changing
the doll against time. His best
was 68 seconds for the job.

Getting down to business at
last, after a number of rehears-
als Bernhardt finally called for
action. There was absolute si-
lence. Emoting was about to,
to start for a particularly tense
scene when, instead of the ex-
pected dialogue, came a loud re-
cording of a baby’s squawling.
Bernhardt really knows by now
that he’s the dad of a brand
new baby boy.

Hollywood Yarn Starts
And Stops In Studio

One of this war’s greatest
human interest stories had its
beginning and ending in Holly-
wood.

The yarn involves two for-
mer small-part actors, Glenn
Pollock and Tom Ashfield, now
appearing in Warner Bros.’ “A
Stolen Life,’ starring Bette
Davis, at the Strand. The two
men entered service at approxi-
mately the same time and were
together when their transport
was torpedoed on February fe
1943.

Both managed to find safety
on a raft, but before they were
sighted by a coast guard cutter
Ashfield was swept overboard,
presumably lost.

Set. Pollock, after months in
a hospital and more service
overseas, was eventually dis-
charged, and returned to Holly-
wood to resume his acting ca-
reer.

He could hardly believe his
eyes when, on the set OL. a
Stolen Life,” he came face to
face with his old friend Ash-
field.

Ashfield had been picked up
by a submarine for questioning,

Hollywood Style Virtue
Pays Off Handsomely

Virtue may be its own reward
elsewhere but in Hollywood it
pays off handsomely.

The bad girl in movies who
wins critic’s kudos is a thing
of the past and is far more like-
ly to get a tomato for her sins
than an Oscar.

Gone are the days when the
husband-killer roles like that of
Bette Davis in “The Little
Foxes,” andIda Lupino in “They
Drive By Night,” are the prizes
that go only to the film capital’s
top ranking stars, and whose
portrayals of these roles bring
fame, fortune, and often an
Academy Award.

‘Good Girls’ Win

If a girl is “good” at the art
of acting these days, movie-
makers will reward her with
virtuous roles, and the Acad-
emy of Motion Pictures Arts
and Sciences will very probably
hand her that mark of approval
so dear to the heart of every
actress—the Oscar.

Even Bette Davis, now star-
ring in Warner Bros.’ “A Stolen
Life” at the Strand Theatre,
although she has blazed a movie
trail of greed, jealousy, hate
and all the other cardinal sins
in the past, has recently sub-
stantiated her position as first

lady of the screen by undergo-
ing a complete change of char-
acter. In “The Corn Is Green,”
she portrayed a noble and self-
sacrificing maiden school teach-
er working among the coal min-
ers of Wales.

Currently Miss Davis is do-
ing double-starring duty as the
twin sisters in “A Stolen Life.”
Indicative of the trend in mo-
tion pictures toward virtue is the
fact that it is the good sister
who gets both the man and the
star’s share of the film footage.

Alexis Smith, white hope of
Warner Bros. studio, probably
topped good women roles for all
time by coming right out and
portraying an angel in “The
Horn Blows at Midnight.” As
such, she not only looked to the
excellence of her own behavior
but kept a steadying hand on
her less meritorious co-angel,
Jack Benny.

All this sweetness and light,
of course, can be carried too
far with a screen character en-
countering the law of diminish-
ing returns. There is, as an
example of virtue too rampant
on the screen, Rosalind Russell
who, in the role of Louise Ran-
dall Pierson, in “Roughly Speak-
ing,” lost her first husband for
that very reason.

4-DAY STORY-IN-PICTURES .. .

(FIRST DAY)

“A Stolen Life” gives versa-
tile Bette Davis an opportu-
nity to play a double rote for
the first time. Her artistry is
turned to the characterization
of twin sisters: Pat, who is
trouble, and Kate, who is true.
As Kate she is a warm-heart-
ed artist deeply in love with
a handsome young engineer,
played by Glenn Ford. The
setting of their romance is a
bleak but beautiful wind-
swept island off the coast of
Massachusetts. As Pat she is
glamorous and worldly with a
way with men that sweeps
Kate’s romance to disaster.
Supporting the star in “A
Stolen Life” are Glenn Ford,
Dane Clark, Charles Ruggles
and Walter Brennan. Two of
the Warner Bros.’ studio’s
newest starlets, Peggy Knud-
son and Joan Winfield, also
have important roles in the
film drama. Curtis Bernhardt
directed the picture.

(SECOND DAY)

Kate Bosworth (Bette Davis),
@ young artist, meets Bill
Emerson (Glenn Ford) while
visiting her cousin on an
island off the coast of Massa-
chusetts. Bill is a handsome
young engineer who works for
the government as a light-
house inspector. He intrigues
her and in order to see more
of him Kate arranges to have
Eben Folger (Walter Bren-
nan), a salty old lighthouse
keeper, pose for her. Kate sails
to the lighthouse island each
day, and between sittings
spends much time with Bill.
They seem to have a lot in
common, and as the days go
by find themselves becoming
more and more fond of each
other. Kate looks forward
hopefully to marrying young
Bill. Now go on with the story,

(Charles Ruggles) house one
night to find that her twin sis-
ter, Pat (Bette Davis) has ar-
rived to look over the males on
the Cape. The next day Pat is
taken by Bill for Kate. She
lets him persist in his error
and Kate comes home to find
them in a clinch. Kate leaves
brokenhearted. Pat has taken
over. Now go on with the
story. e.

On a visit to her cousin living on an
island off Massachusetts, Kate Bosworth
(Bette Davis) misses the regular ferry
and gets a ferry lift from handsome Bill
Emerson (Glenn Ford), an engineer who
works as a lighthouse inspector. Kate
determines to see more of Bill.

Kate resents her intrusion.

One evening Kate and Bill make a luncheon
date for the following day on the mainland.
Kate, very happy, romps home to her cousin
Freddie’s (Charlie Ruggles) house to find
that her twin sister, Pat (Bette Davis) has
‘arrived to look over the males on the Cape.

Each day she sails to the lighthouse island and
spends several hours on the portrait. Between
sittings, she sees much of Bill and finds they
have a lot in common. Bill leads a leisurely
life, and is content amid the solitude and
beauty of the seashore. As the days go by,
they find themselves falling in love.

(Continued tomorrow)

To accomplish her purpose Kate, an art-
ist with aspirations, asks the lighthouse
keeper, Eben Folger (Walter Brennan)
to pose for her. He’s sour on women and
refuses at first, but Kate bribes him with
a ship model that he’d been wanting for
some time.

To make amends for his error, Bill in-
vites Kate to a barn dance the following
evening. At the dance, Pat—more adept
in handling men than her sister—monop-
olizes Bill’s attention. Kate, intuitively
feels that she is losing Bill, and she leaves,
brokenhearted, with Freddie.

(Continued tomorrow)

The next day Pat, walking along the wharf,
is taken by Bill for Kate. Pat lets him per-
sist in his error and takes him home for
lunch and a drink. Kate, who has been
searching the waterfront for Bill, returns
disappointed to the house, where she finds
Pat and Bill in a clinch.

Pat and Bill are married shortly thereafter and
Kate decides to lose herself in work. At an ex-
hibition of her paintings, she meets a rough but
talented character named Karnok (Dane Clark).
Although he insults her, Kate invites him to use
her studios for his own art work. He moves in
and makes himself right at home.

One day Kate runs into Bill at a de-
partment store. Her heart jumps at the
sight of him. She discovers that Pat has
forced Bill to give up his lighthouse job
for one less to his taste but paying more
money. Bill indicates that all is not
going well between them.

Thanks to Karnok’s taunts, Kate gives
up her painting as a bad job, and returns
to Freddie’s house. There she finds Pat,
who has sent Bill off to Chile in search
of greener fields. The next day, while out
sailing, the sisters are caught in a sud-
den storm and Pat is washed overboard.

LATEST VITAPHONE HITS

“SOUTH OF MONTERREY” .... is a thrill-packed trip to the
land of our good neighbors. It’s filmed along the route of the new
Pan-American Highway and there’s a new adventure every mile.

2005 .. . Technicolor Special—20 mins.

“HOLLYWOOD DAFFY” ... . Daffy Duck tries to crash the
studio gates, disguising himself as Johnny Weismuller, Bette Davis
and finally the Academy Award ‘’Oscar.’’ Laughs for all as he
finally sees stars but not quite in the way he _ expected.

2702... Merrie Melodies Cartoon in Technicolor—7 mins.

“UNDER WATER SPEAR FISHING” ..... is an exciting after-
noon in the blue waters off the beautiful Mexican town of Aca-
pulco. A deadly barracuda, giant ray and shark make fine sport
and good eating for two Mexican under water swimming champions.

2508 . . . Sports Parade in Technicolor—10 mins.

“NIGHT WATCHMAN” ..... is just about as funny as any car-
toon you've ever seen. There’s a kitchen to be guarded—a new
cat has the job—and the mice know it! Pandemonium breaks loose.

2309... Blue Ribbon Hit Parade Cartoon in Technicolor—7 mins.

“GIRLS AND FLOWERS”... .. brims over with glorious flowers
and long-stemmed beauties. There’s a real note of beauty in this
Technicolor junket from the tulip beds of Holland, Michigan, to
the exotic flora of Cypress Gardens, Florida.

2805 .. . Technicolor Adventure Special—10 mins.
